  • Patent number: 11961136
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to processing and executing digital asset transfers between two users. An example method includes receiving a data object defining a digital asset transfer, and the data object may be a query from the first user to initiate an outbound transfer to a second user or an approval of a request for digital asset units from the second user. The method further includes retrieving account balance data objects associated with the digital asset accounts for the first and second users. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the digital asset transfer satisfies one or more transfer conditions, executing the digital asset transfer by executing a closed-loop debit from the first user and executing a closed-loop credit to the second user. The method further includes updating the account balance data object to reflect the resulting balances of each digital asset account.

  • Publication number: 20240095723
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to processing conversions of digital assets to fiat currency. An example method includes obtaining a conversion rate for a digital asset via an API, providing the conversion rate via a client device, receiving a digital asset conversion request and executing a digital asset conversion within a configurable time period. Executing the digital asset conversion includes causing digital asset units to be debited from the digital asset user account and causing fiat currency units to be credited to a fiat currency user account. The method further includes dynamically providing a notification of execution of the digital asset conversion via the client device, updating account balance data objects associated with the digital asset user account and the fiat currency user account, and subsequent to executing the digital asset conversion, executing a fiat currency transaction (e.g., a settlement) with a digital asset exchange system.

  • Publication number: 20240089252
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for facilitating a credential-less exchange over a network using a plurality of identifier mapping and member interfaces. The techniques may include initiating the presentation of an enrollment user interface via a client device of a user and receiving selection data indicative of a selection of a service provider instrument from the enrollment user interface. The techniques include generating a matching code for authenticating the user, providing the matching code to a service provider platform, and receiving the matching code from a partner platform. In response to an authentication of the user based on the matching code, the techniques may include generating an UUEK for the user that may be used to replace persistent credentials.

  • Publication number: 20220237599
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to processing and executing digital asset conversions for real-time funding of a merchant transaction involving an end user. The user may pre-select digital assets to be converted to fiat currency, and a pre-selected digital asset can be internally-custodied or externally-custodied. An example method includes retrieving a first account balance data object for a fiat currency account. The method further includes, responsive to a balance of the fiat currency user account not satisfying a fiat currency unit threshold of a merchant transaction: receiving a second account balance data object for a digital asset account in response to transmitting an account query, determining a conversion rate for a digital asset, and executing a digital asset conversion by causing a debit of digital asset units from the digital asset account via transmitting a conversion execution API query and by crediting fiat currency units to the fiat currency account.
